What happened? A witness said that Nakie, who's 37, had been staying with another aunt, but she'd become angry and argumentative -- behavior allegedly fueled by alcohol consumption. Mary was then called and asked to try calming Nakie, only to lose her life in the attempt after the verbal altercation turned into a physical one.

While Nakie was said to have split, she didn't get far. A deputy located her outside the apartment complex, covered in blood. She's said to have admitted to her role in the disturbance and was promptly taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree murder. She's being held without bond.
